Rapid Photograph Printing.

If amateur photographers could afford such a machine for printing their pictures as is used by a large stereoscopic view company they would get more pleasure than now out of the use of their cameras. The company runs a machine which will print at the rate of 1,500 photographs an hour. It is so arranged that when the length of the exposure needed for a given negative has been ascertained it can be set to run at that rate and will continue to run indefinitely. The sensitized paper is carried to the negative by a suction disk, is exposed to an electric light and passed on to a receiving box. It is then delivered to a developing machine, from which it emerges ready to be trimmed and mounted. Thus the drudgery of photography is done by machinery.
